Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 608
Everything in the house is neatly arranged.

Maureen stood in the living room of his home, quietly watching Alton lying on the sofa.

Maureen never knew how Alton usually lived if he was not at home. It seemed that everything was casual and not so particular.

The dishes in the kitchen have been cleaned automatically, a rag is wiping the table and stove by itself, and the mop is coming and going in the living room.

Alton fell asleep reading a magazine on the sofa and was snoring softly.

Maureen silently stared at Alton, the old man who had written him letters for so many years, felt a sense of loneliness in his heart.

He has never had the courage to go to Anoke, because he can't let go of many people.

But Mo Lin understood one thing, some things must be done by him, he can't escape, and no one can do it for him.

He couldn't even ask for help in this matter.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa."

Mo Lin turned around silently, returned to his bedroom, jumped from the window, and disappeared under the vast moonlight.

Alton on the sofa in the living room turned over as if nothing had happened.

-

On the night of NO.15 in March, only one day away from NO.16.

The moonlight is like water, falling on the mountains like a waterfall, the vast forests are sleeping, and the faint mist surrounds the branches.

The trees in early spring have just sprouted buds and are growing hard, covered with a layer of silver frost by the moonlight.

This is the mountain range near the village of Hogsmeade, and Mount Ivan is the highest mountain in this range.

From the top of the hill, you can see the whole picture of Hogsmeade village, and you can also vaguely see a corner of Hogwarts Castle.

Arnock used to guide Molin to learn magic on this mountain. Molin learned almost all magic from Arnock. a magic.

Maureen often discusses magic with Anok here, but he has never won a favor from Anok. He will always be disgraced by Anok, his hair stands on end, and he is in a mess.

But he never complained, because he always trusted Anok.

After teasing Maureen every time, Arnock would laugh out loud on the top of the mountain, just like an old urchin, enjoying himself forever.

Arnock once told Molin that this was the highest place in the vicinity, and he asked Molin to take the girl he liked to watch the sunrise and sunset on it in the future.

But Maureen hasn't been here for a long time.

There is no sunrise and sunset at night, only white moonlight.

A stone arch stands on the top of the mountain, simple and elegant, like a weather-beaten work of art, dignified and dignified.

A curtain hangs from the stone archway, floating gently in the moonlight.

Arnock stood in front of the stone arch, looking at the stone arch, as if it was a stone sculpture that hadn't moved for a long time.

There is no wind on the cliff, and the night is peaceful. It seems that even the insects are holding their breath and dare not disturb.

He suddenly seemed to have noticed something, and looked away from the stone arch.

A person came out from the path on the cliff, the moonlight shone on him, his shadow fell on the gravel all over the ground, mottled.

"You're still here after all."

Arnock said slowly, he didn't even look back, but he knew who the person standing behind would be.

"Yes, here I am."

Maureen stopped behind Anok, and he looked at Anok silently. The moonlight did not shine on his face, and no one could see his expression clearly.

"You know it all?"

"I know it all."

"Then why are you here?"

"For you."

Simple words, they are very familiar with each other, and they can understand what the other party wants to say without making it too complicated.

"You shouldn't have come."

Arnock turned around and looked at Mo Lin. The moonlight shone on his old face, and the furrow-like wrinkles were engraved with heavy traces of time, but it looked so peaceful.

"I must come."

Maureen's face was still hidden in the darkness, but he was calm, without any extra emotion.

"Do you know what this means?"

Arnock still stood with his hands behind his back, and he didn't reach for his wand, but just looked at Maureen in the shadows.

"I know." Mo Lin said slowly, "That's why I came to stop you."

"You can't stop me." Anok shook his head. He looked at Maureen with a hint of regret in his eyes. "I know you too well, but you don't know me."

"You're wrong," Maureen said, "I know why you did it."

Arnock froze slightly, his blue eyes shone strangely under the moonlight, calm, like a clear blue sky, capable of containing everything, but no one could see him from his eyes. thoughts.

"If you are clear, you should go back." Anok sighed softly.

"Where are you going?" Mo Lin asked confusedly.

"School, home—no matter where it is, the farther away from here the better."

"If you know me that well, you should know I'm not going back."

Mo Lin lowered his head, his voice was disappointed, but full of unspeakable determination.

"I know." Anok forced a smile, "It's just that I didn't expect you to find this place."

"I learned a lot from the centaur. It's not just a prophecy. I know what you are going to do, and I also know why this stone arch appears here."

Mo Lin looked past Arnock and landed on the stone arch, on which twelve Black Rubik's Cubes were inlaid.

Last summer, he opened the stone arch at school, and whether he did it on purpose or not, he couldn't get away with it.

The stone arch was still at the gate of the school castle yesterday, but Arnock moved the stone arch here.

"Did the centaur tell you how it turned out?" asked Arnock.

"The horse people don't know, and no one knows." Mo Lin gritted his teeth, "The reason why they don't know is because I interfered with all this, so I can guess."

Maureen slowly pulled out his wand from behind. His wand was pointed at the ground, and the slender wooden stick left a thin shadow on the ground.

Arnock was still standing, he didn't take out his wand, just looked at Maureen.

The air was dull.

"Are you sure?" Anok asked.

Maureen was silent.

Are you sure?

"No." Mo Lin shook his head, he was not sure at all, "But I have to come."

"You should know that if I want to do this, I can't stop it with your ability." Anoke said.

The two stood on the top of the mountain and looked at each other silently, neither of them made a move.

There was silence on the cliff, the grass that had just sprouted in the cracks in the rocks shook slightly, and the frail body shook in the gravel.

"What are you waiting for?" Anok asked.

"Wait for an answer," Mo Lin said.

"A lot of people tend not to like the answers," says Arnock.

"This answer is different."

Maureen glanced at the moon in the sky, then lowered his head again.

The wind began to blow on the cliff.
